When browsing the “duluth model” website, its clear they want no mention of the statistic that the highest rates of domestic violence are in woman/woman relationships. Not Man/Woman like they would love for it to be.

According to the Duluth Model women cannot commit DV. DV can only be committed by a man.

Duluth is predicated on the "patriarchal terrorism" paradigm of partner violence. That is, men beat their female partners in order to assert masculine dominance within their relationships. Their motives are to conform to patriarchal norms and to reify a the patriarchal social/political/cultural order of male dominance and female subordination within the home.
Under this faulty model, women cannot, as a conceptual matter, perpetrate partner abuse. If they hit their male partners, it was in self defense. If they hit first, or are the only partner who hits, they are doing it within the context of "violent resistance" against presumed emotional or psychological abuse on his part.

By Duluth it appears that DV is impossible in a lesbian relationship.

I'm not surprised. I lived in an apartment complex not too long ago. A big one in Los Angeles, so it was full of very young, woke partiers. About 1/3 of the complex was rented out to gay couples, with about half of those being lesbian. That's all fine. What wasn't fine were the nearly daily/nightly screaming and crying match sounds emanating from those apartments. Police sirens. Stomping. Good God. The best one was when one of the girls right next door to me got her nose cut off by her butch girlfriend.

My point being - women, particularly young women, are frequently over emotional and lash out about any perceived slight. As a female, I was somewhat that way, too, if I'm being honest.

The Duluth Model is simply encoding of male traits like as being bad because the "primary aggressor" theory, saying whoever started it is at fault, led to jails full of women. Duluth was feminisms second try to get power over men.

One may not not speak ill of the L in LGBTQ . . . or else . . .

Domestic violence is initiated more by women than men and there are more male victims of domestic violence than female victims. So even if they avoid the lesbians, women are still more abusive.

Statistically, rates of DV go down with the number of women in the relationship. Lesbian relationships have the highest rates m, gay men the lowest.

If we're not willing to address the elephant in the room, then they're not about solving the problem, they're just blaming men.

The feminist created Duluth model which states men initiate almost all domestic violence is inconsistent with the facts. Many, many studies show women initiate as much or more domestic violence as men.

This is the classic feminist move. Use false information to convince people there’s a bias against females and use that as an excuse to win biased legislation favoring females over males. That’s how VAWA was passed. It’s how they won WEEA, Title IX mandates biased against, women owned business advantages, affirmative action for women and more.

please see here

Of the 44% of lesbians you will see that on page 2 only 67% of the perpetrators are women meaning that only 29% of lesbians experience woman on woman violence in an intimate partner please know that an intimate partner means domestic violence which is not only a sexual partner but family and close friends please also note that lesbians can have had previous heterosexual relationships. See quote below

Sex of Perpetrator of Intimate Partner Violence • Most bisexual and heterosexual women (89.5% and 98.7%, respectively) reported having only male perpetrators of intimate partner violence. Two-thirds of lesbian women (67.4%) reported having only female perpetrators of intimate partner violence.

It also shows that a majority of violence committed against bisexual and heterosexual women is from men meaning that a woman is more likely to have violence committed against her from a heterosexual man than from a gay woman in a romantic setting. You will also find the statistics on sexual violence committed against women in the super majority is committed by men.

It seems that the data in your study is being misrepresented. I am not making a comment on the violence committed from women against men I am just saying that it is not more likely for a lesbian to commit domestic violence against a woman versus a man committing domestic violence against a woman.
